The Consumers Health Forum provides a short but useful Check List – Information for Committee Secrtetariats to provide practical guidance to secretariats and committee chairs in how to support the involvement of consumer representatives.

Engagement/participation staff within health services may find they are often providing advice to committee chairs/secretariats who are required to appoint one or more consumer representatives. This checklist can form the basis of a targeted package that supports staff to meet the requirements of the organisation’s engagement framework and/or policies.
